Get your phase tuned for higher load Dino.
You will gain some degrees and reduce the Δt.

there is no one here aside from kayl who lives some 5000km west from me lol

i dont really need to tune it. i just use SS lightly for occasionally subzero tests and yes it would be nice if it could handle higher load but that;s what all those LN2 pots are for right

Charles will i experience this runaway amp phenomena even if i try LN2 with exactly the same settings

i am just trying to get my head around how this works

btw i had a watt meter hooked up

ok before i turned on the system i had 560-630W consumption from phase change, monitor and laptop which were all hooked up on the same plug

on STOCK setup 3DMARK Vantage in second GFX test peaked at 1488Watts .... so that means that the system at stock peaked at around 860W (1488-630)

now i am not sure if the second card was drawing full power as it was faulty (could not start system from second card when tested as single) but the setup was as follows

core i7 920 stock
3GB RAM kit
Xfire 4870X2
corsair HX1000 PSU
one drive
